12 Ways to have Fun this

Fall

YO, YO, YO…Aqua YO-Lates

blends both yoga and pilates exercises together giving you the best of both worlds. The gentle movement sequences help strengthen the whole body. See page 5.

Do you think Walt Disney got started this way?

Cartooning Skills provides a creative and nurturing environment where children will learn to draw through fun new cartoon lessons, including funny animals, goofy expressions, and silly scenarios. On page 5.

Sunday in the Park with George

has nothing on us. Sunday Studio is for little ones to bring their great big creative ideas! Your budding artists will explore color, shape, and texture through two and three-dimensional projects. Check out page 39.

You don’t have to be from California to dance up a storm!

Learn the latest dance trend in the West Coast Swing Beginners class.

Best known in the Country/Western world, it is becoming one of the most popular dances for all ages. See page 41.

Have you been holding out for a HERO?

Well, wait no longer with HeroeZ of Guitar. Your child can be a hero on a guitar by learning to read musical symbols, play basic chords and ease into playing songs. All on page 45.

Not part of the Top One Percent?

No problem. Be Your Own Personal Chef will teach you to cook and prepare two weeks’ worth of food at a time AND save money in the process.

Get a taste on page 46.

There is no clay or marble involved

Be your own artist with Body Sculpting, a land-based class designed for cross training with water fitness classes. On page 51.

We’re not laughing at you…we’re getting fit!

What could be a more amusing way to enrich your overall health than with Laughter Fitness?! This workout includes laughing exercise, breathing, and memory enhancement techniques which rejuvenate brain power. This is the fun way to be happy and healthy on page 54.

The younger the better when it comes to learning a second language.

With Pre-School Spanish, children will be fully immersed. Classes are composed of a variety of high energy games, sports, obstacle courses, experiments, and more! It’s on page 63.

Rock on in this gem of a class...

where you will discover the wonderful world of precious gemstones.

See Page 69.

This is the kind of “Pickle” you want to be in

Get in on Pickleball, the fastest growing sport, especially with the Baby Boomer set. Whether you have just picked up the game or are more experienced, have fun testing your skills. It’s all on page 77.

If Carole King makes you feel like A Natural Woman... come see the 2014 Tony Award-winning "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” at the magnificent John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Details on page 94.

Meditation Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation

Ages 16 & Up: Cultivate greater awareness of the unity of mind and body. The practice works by helping students to achieve a better understanding of what is happening right now- whether positive, negative or neutral-not what they want to happen or what they think should be happening. Mindfulness meditation helps practitioners stop worrying about forces not under their control. Indeed, we learn that the idea of control is an illusion. We will use mindfulness techniques including full body scan, seated meditation, walking meditation and even eating meditation to give students an introduction to the possibilities inherent in these techniques.

®Postpartum Strong

General Fitness

NEW

®Bone Up on Bones NEW

Ages 18 & Up: During our adult years, our bones are in a continual cycle of breaking down and rebuilding. Excessive bone loss can be attributed to hormonal changes, both natural and from medications (e.g. cancer-fighting medications), smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and certain medical conditions. This is called osteopenia or osteoporosis depending upon the severity of loss. The stronger our bones are, the less likely we will experience fractures in a traumatic incident. In conjunction with other types of interventions, bone loss can be slowed and sometimes reversed with exercise. This workshop will discuss concepts for developing an appropriate and safe exercise program to improve bone density and prevent further bone loss.

A NEW TOUR! A Success Story of Urban Revival in Washington, DC. Come and explore this exciting scene with our "Spies Tour" guide, Carole Bessette, a well-known and veteran Washington , DC registered tour guide. A number of areas in Washington, DC are now being publicized as "urban revival stories" with the influx of large numbers of young professionals. A region that perhaps showed the way for these success stories is the area southeast of the U.S. Capitol known as "Barracks Row." The oldest commercial area in the city, it flourished due to the presence of the Washington Navy Yard and the Marine Barracks, with their large numbers of workers. Time and political/social/ economic changes took their toll - until an exciting revitalization began 20 years ago, and was recently fueled by the Washington Nationals new stadium. We will walk past historic homes and churches, explore the hidden alleyways, learn more of John Philip Sousa (he did more than write music), and enjoy the wide array of shops (Eastern Market) in this vibrant area!

BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL KENNEDY CENTER, WASHINGTON, DC

Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her 20s, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom -from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music; she wrote the soundtrack to a generation. Featuring a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil -- including "I Feel the Earth Move," "One Fine Day," "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "You've Got a Friend," and the title song -- "Beautiful" took home two 2014 Tony Awards as well as a 2015 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and features a book by Tony and Academy Award-nominated writer Douglas McGrath, direction by Marc Bruni, and choreography by John Prince.

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission

USTA 10 and Under Tennis This ground-breaking program from the United States Tennis Association (USTA) gives kids age 10 and under the opportunity to learn real tennis...and have real fun doing it!

Using the QuickStart Tennis play format, Classes use racquets, balls and courts that are sized right for kids so they learn, rally, play, compete and enjoy the game right from the start. The courts are smaller (but still to scale); balls are lighter, slower-moving and easier to hit; racquets are smaller and lighter. It's real tennis, tailored to a child's size (other youth sports like soccer, basketball and baseball have done this for years!).

All equipment is provided in the course fee. All Classes include warm-up and cool-down activities, skill review and practice, and team games that reinforce tennis skills and tactics. For more information, visit www.10andUnderTennis.com, and sign up for a class today.

Intermediate Tennis

In Intermediate Tennis, we'll begin to focus on the strategies and shots that will help you play winning tennis. We'll continue to work on stroke development, and learn specialty shots like lobs, drop shots, slices, topspins, cross-court and down-the-line shots, and both kick and flat serves. You'll also learn when and where to use each stroke, how to play strategic tennis (how to plan your shots, construct points, size up your opponent and play to his/her weaknesses), and work on consistency from both the baseline and net.

During the end of class, we will play matches giving everyone the opportunity to immediately apply what they have learned.

This park bench is more than just a place to sit.

This bench is dedicated to the memory of a beloved family member who spent countless hours in this park appreciating the serenity and enjoying nature. Stan walked his dog here and watched his grandchildren play on the playground. This was one of Stan’s favorite places and now this bench reminds us of the time he enjoyed here.

The Montgomery Parks Foundation can help you honor or memorialize people you love, admire, respect or miss in your life. Your dedication can acknowledge a special birthday, mark a life milestone or create a place of importance for your family.

Make a bench in your park more than just a place to sit!
